A Lancashire nurse whose errors risked a scabies outbreak at nursing home has been struck off.
Karen Andrea Dixon, who had been a nurse since 1988, was struck off following a Nursing and Midwifery hearing earlier this month. The hearing heard how Ms Dixon had failed to declare she was subject to an 18 month NMC Caution Order when interviewed for a bank nurse job at The Sands Nursing and Retirement Home in Morecambe in 2019. When the Home's manager discovered the truth, it was decided to give her 'the benefit of the doubt', but Ms Dixon went on to make a catalogue of errors.
But a reference from the Sands was received on November 6, 2019, which highlighted concerns with her practice and confirmed that her contract had been terminated. Dovehaven decided to terminate her contract the same day. Representing Ms Dixon, Thomas Buxton from Crucible Law submitted that her behaviour was not deliberate but rather 'a serious departure from the standards that you know by being chaotic'.
